This word is made up of 'fördern' (to support/promote) and 'Preis' (award/prize). A 'Förderpreis' (development award) is therefore literally a prize intended to support someone in their development.
Der Förderpreis soll jungen Wissenschaftlern den Start in ihre Karriere erleichtern.
The development award is intended to help young scientists get started in their careers.
A 'Förderpreis' (development award) is typically 'verliehen' (awarded) or 'vergeben' (given). The person who gets it 'erhält' (receives) or 'gewinnt' (wins) it.

price / prize
'der Preis' and 'der Förderpreis' can both mean an award. 'der Preis' is the more general word here: you can receive one in a competition, in a game, or for a special achievement. 'der Förderpreis' is more specific. It is meant to support a person or a project, often young talent in art, science, or business. Learners may confuse the words because in both cases someone wins something or is honored. If only the award itself is important, 'Preis' fits. If support for further development is important, 'Förderpreis' is more precise.
